Answers

Answered by lisha45

On adding salt, the external medium is made hypertonic, i.e. concentration of water is lowered as compared to the concentration of water inside the cell. Thus, water is released from the vegetables due to exosmosis (water molecules goes out of the cell resulting in shrinkage of cell)
